STABILITY AND POLE LOCATION
POLES OF THE FEEDBACK AMPLIFIER
Recall the closed loop transfer function (transfer
function with feedback):
A s

1 A s s
Poles:

AMPLIFIER WITH A SINGLE-POLE
RESPONSE
Simple example: suppose an amplifier without
Ppole at :
feedback has sa
single
A0
A s
1 s P
With negative feedback, we saw earlier that,
assuming
constant, the
amplifier gain is:
A0 1 A0
Af s
1 s P 1 A0
The feedback has moved the pole along the P
axis
to
